Music 220a Homework #3

About

The sound file I chose to sample contains a couple of audio clips from the cartoon Adventure Time. The sampler pulls samples based on the state variable calculated by the algorithm being employed and plays them for a random duration between 100 and 800 ms, in increments of 100 ms. In addition, the sampler will play the samples in reverse if the state variable is negative.

For the other channel, I chose to use the BlowHole UGen. It is similarly controlled by the algorithms, however in a slightly different manner. I created an array containing the midi values of two octaves of the A harmonic minor scale. The value returned by the algorithm determines the array index to be played. The duration of the note is also a random value between 100 and 800 ms, in increments of 100. This allows the two parts to be played not necessarily in time, but on the same time grid. In addition, the blow pressure is determined by the algorithm state variable.
